Sonnet 34

Sunflower colossus dominates my day,

Dining  outside all weathers was your cloak -

The jealous gent doth protest too much, way

Too much - no domestic fire without smoke.

Who knows whose mob.pics gave the press their break,

Black rage weighing  your heavy seedy   face,

You got me eclipsed so I could not speak,

But my darkness  is just passing disgrace.

Maybe it's all those kids gave us the grief;

Child rearing's to their profit and our loss,

Couples don't get sex breaks like tax relief;

It's weight gain; tooth rot; glasses and hair loss.

Light a starry life sheds (Our Bard wrote "sheeds")

Promises rich offspring, sparse lover's deeds.


* Shakespeare's sonnet 34.
